I loaded up the BLINQ demo to see what it could do. That was a bad move, as it had the side-effect of killing off the Refactor menu. Here's how to get it back...
All the steps - they need to be completed in the sequential order as follows:
1. Start up RegEdit.exe
2. Open registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Packages\{A066E284-DCAB-11D2-B551-00C04F68D4DB}\SatelliteDLL]
3. Edit the "Path" value and change it from
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\VCSPackages\1033\" to
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\VCSPackages\"
4. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE (I found this part easiest to do in a CMD window).
5. Run Devenv.exe /Setup
6. Run Devenv.exe /ResetUserData
7. Run Devenv.exe /ResetSettings CSharp
If all goes well, you should now see a Refactor menu when you right click on in a code window in Visual Studio 2005.
